I agree. Thanks, Luke, for taking the trouble to report on it. It shows how seriously some Catholics take their religion.
In 2015 I was in the Old Believers' Church in Daugavpils in Latvia. It was the only time that I have ever been inside an Old Believers' Church. A choir practice was in progress... Until a ferocious row erupted. A choir member whipped off his robe, threw it on the floor and stormed out. I guess that was the sort of passion which kept the Old Believers alive in the face of merciless persecution. Would that we were all so zealous.
Thanks for your reporting on this issue, Luke. I'm not sure what I think about it all, but I find it interesting.
